  1. How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

    anon695 replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    It seems hard to grasp for anybody who hasn't been to nursing school themselves, but when I tell people that I can't come to XYZ event because anything below a 78 is failing, we lost 1/3 of our class...

  2. Traditional RN to BSN programs.

    anon695 replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in General Students

    Most RN-BSN programs don't really have clinicals because you completed that component in your ADN program. They have a few days of "community health" and "management" clinicals in the RN-BSN, that's...

  3. Would you advise anyone to get into nursing?

    anon695 replied to -RN-'s topic in General Nursing

    It IS better for some people than what they were doing before. There are a lot of different personality types up there, some love a busy high-stress job and have a need to be

  4. Would you advise anyone to get into nursing?

    anon695 replied to -RN-'s topic in General Nursing

    Just because you're unhappy with it, doesn't mean the rest of the world is. Isn't being a nurse supposed to include ability to see the viewpoints of

  5. Would you advise anyone to get into nursing?

    anon695 replied to -RN-'s topic in General Nursing

    If you truly want to be a nurse more than anything else in the world and you have the financial means to do it (meaning, no debt at all or very little) then go for

  6. Chamberlain College of Nursing- How is the marketability of a degree from here?

    anon695 replied to briaan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's DeVry, but with a different name just for the nursing department. The credits overpriced and often not transferrable to state universities or private non-profits. If you're just finishing high...

  7. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    anon695 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never been a smoker and I think taking up the habit is one of the dumbest things a person can do, but it's legal to smoke cigarettes. Not admitting people to school based on a legal activity that...

  8. Can I still look for tech job if I'm graduating in May?

    anon695 replied to StudentNurzNK's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the state. Some states let RNs work in roles below their license (NY) some do not (NJ). If you want to apply to both tech and RN positions after graduation, that's certainly an option....

  9. Dilemma

    anon695 replied to funnygir's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't have solid proof of this, like an official, sealed copy of her university transcript, then keep your mouth shut. Maybe it's true that she cheated, but maybe it's hearsay. Unless you have...

  10. This site a gift and a curse

    anon695 replied to Nicole74's topic in General Nursing

    the new grads that got jobs are busy working, not posting here about how they can't find a job. If you truly want to be a nurse more than anything else in the world, then do it - it's not easy to find...

  11. Critical Care in Nursing School

    anon695 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in my 4th and final semester, and the course is critical care and pediatrics. The critical care is much harder than regular med-surg content, as 40%+ of our exams are questions on ventilators, the...

  12. Where did you find financial aid when you decided to go for the 2nd degree in nursing

    anon695 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't, I paid for it all out of my savings. I wasn't eligible for any kind of

  13. Nontraditional Student Thankful

    anon695 replied to NurseGuy30's topic in General Students

    I've thought the same thing myself, many times. I'm very lucky to have had the opportunity at age 29 to go back to school, this time for something I actually want to do. I was pushed into a 4-year...

  14. No interviews, so I want to call hirers to badger for interviews?

    anon695 replied to Will Never's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in HR. This is the worst idea ever. First off, no Nurse Manager is going to give you an appointment unless they do want to interview you for a job (they have a job to do too, they...

  15. Need advice about job situation

    anon695 replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    Had you talked to them about when you were graduating and asked how you should go about the application process? If so, did you do exactly as they told you to (applied by whatever date they gave you,...

  16. Advice Please Help

    anon695 replied to princesspjc's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I'd just finish up where I am, in May 2012. Chamberlain is Devry, you'll spend a ton of money and/or incur a bundle of debt there, and you can't even be sure that a CRNA program will...

  17. Does an associates in pre-nursing only amount to anything to employers?

    anon695 replied to northmississippi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like most degrees, it doesn't mean anything to employers except that you have SOME kind of degree. Since practically everyone has a college degree now, jobs that didn't used to requite a degree now...

  18. RN to BSN Online...Need advice

    anon695 replied to AshleyElizabethRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not quite at the point of enrolling yet, but just an FYI - a lot of the programs mentioned above are for-profit. Chamberlain is a division of DeVry. Kaplan is the Washington Post Company. Grand...

  19. Critical Care in Nursing School

    anon695 replied to anon695's topic in General Students

    We have a 3 week hands-on rotation complete with pre-clinical and patient assignments, honestly I'm very intimidated by the prospect of this. Plus, the instructor is one who has very high expectations...

  20. Critical Care in Nursing School

    anon695 replied to anon695's topic in General Students

    We were told the same things, not touch the vent because that's respiratory therapy's job. But our exams are asking us about vents as if we were the ones doing it. So far, growth & development has...

  22. 2nd Semester RN student, thinking of going to LVN..Advice?

    anon695 replied to Sammygrll's topic in General Students

    Here's your problem. You're trying to do it on no sleep. Get at least 6.5 hours of sleep the night before and that will likely make a huge difference in your performance in

  23. How did you get through clinical rotations that you had no interest in?

    anon695 replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I want to be a med-surg nurse after I graduate. I disliked OB and I loathed Home Health. I got through them for two reasons: 1. I need to do at least a satisfactory job here so that I can move on a be...

  25. Considering ttc while in school - advice pls

    anon695 replied to Anon2011's topic in General Students

    On the flip side, you run the risk of it not being normal and missing class or clinical. If you're on track to graduate in June 2011 it seems like even a small chance of medical issues during...
